	[H] Enthusiast - GeForceFX 5700U GDDR3
		GDDR3 graphics memory is ready for the masses, and NVIDIA shows us that it can easily be adapted to even their current video cards.
		GDDR3 memory technology was actually developed by JEDEC in collaboration with ATI as an open standard.
		GDDR3 has a VDD Voltage of 1.8v-2.0v and a VDDQ of 1.8v-2.0v which is much less than GDDR2’s 2.5v VDD.

	ATI and DRAM industry leaders announce specification for GDDR-3
		GDDR3 not only continues the trend for the graphics industry to be an early adopter of DRAM technology, but is the first DRAM designed specifically for a market before an industry standard is available.
		Key to creating an ideal high-speed memory for graphics was the improvement in key technical areas such as high speed signaling that is important in designing DRAM for graphics, leveraging the work of JEDEC in defining DDR-II for the commodity memory market.
		GDDR3 will become available in 2003 and should continue to be an important inflection in graphics for years to come.

	Albatron FX5700U3 PCSTATS Review - DDR2 VS GDDR3? What's up with that?
		Abstract: GDDR3 (Graphics Double Data Rate3) is a new type of DDR memory, one which has been specifically developed for use with graphics card.
		The main advantage DDR2 has over good ole DDR memory is that it runs on a lower voltage, which lowers the power requirements, and allows it to scale higher with a small latency penalty.
		GDDR3 and DDR2 do share one thing in common, they are only packaged in BGA modules - leaving the old TSOP-II to be finally retired.

	NVIDIA's GeForce FX 5700 Ultra with GDDR3 - The Tech Report - Page 1
		GDDR3 was developed by ATI in collaboration with a number of leading DRAM manufacturers, but it's an open spec that others are free to use.
		Despite using swanky new memory chips, NVIDIA's GeForce FX 5700 Ultra with GDDR3 is almost indistinguishable from the old DDR2 card.
		Of course, it's possible this slight increase in peak theoretical bandwidth could be offset, at least in part, by higher memory access latencies with GDDR3.

	Albatron GeForce FX5700U3 GDDR3 Videocard Review - CertYourself
		GDDR3 (Graphics Double Data Rate3) is a new type of DDR memory, one which has been specifically developed for use with graphics card.
		True to form, Albatron's FX5700U3 is based on the GeForceFX 5700 Ultra chipset, and comes packing 128MB of GDDR3 memory.
		GDDR3 runs cooler than DDR2, which is why the FX5700U3 can get away with using a thick thermal pad between the heatsink and memory.

	LostCircuits, Memory Reviews
		At the same time, the graphics version of the new standard, that is GDDR2 has already become obsolete, reasons being high power consumption along with thermal problems that negate the marginal performance increase found over the original DDR design.
		In the graphics sector, the next generation of DDR, that is, GDDR3 has almost overnight become a main player, with a simplified design, lower power consumption and final riddance of some historical DRAM protocol baggage.
		The design improvements of GDDR3 compared to (G)DDR-II are extremely intuitive, which makes us wonder whether a similar transition could happen overnight in the system memory / desktop segment as well.

	NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra with GDDR3 RAM - HotHardware
		Most of you have probably heard that next generation parts from NVIDIA will use GDDR3 memory, and while we can't say anything for certain at the moment, this little number sure does lend some credence to that information.
		We were able to take the GDDR3 memory on our reference 5700 Ultra all the way up to a maximum of 1.11GHz.
		The Samsung GDDR3 memory's overclocking potential wasn't the only data point we were interested in (and judging by your feedback over the last two days, neither were you!).

	X-bit labs - NVIDIA GeForce FX 5700 Ultra to Support GDDR3 Memory?
		The GDDR3 memory is an evolution of GDDR2 memory that is primarily targeted for clock-speed increase.
		Secondly, GDDR3 utilizes a “pseudo-open drain” interface technique that is based on voltage rather than current.
		The GDDR3 256Mb graphics memory devices manufactured by Samsung are clocked at 500MHz, 600MHz, 700MHz and 800MHz speeds effectively providing 1000Mb/s, 1200Mb/s, 1400Mb/s and 1600Mb/s per pin bandwidth.

	How ATI double whammied Nvidia over GDDR3
		Apparently the decision was a bit of a no-brainer, as it seems the price paid by ATI for these GDDR2 modules wasn't dissimilar to the price it was already paying for the slower DDR1 modules, with which it populated its 128MB variants of Radeon 9800 PRO.
		So, we understand, having been burnt once, and with the imminent arrival of GDDR3 into the market, Samsung declined to produce any more GDDR2 modules for Nvidia, leaving the graphics firm with one of two options: either go with GDDR3 or drop back to the slower DDR1.
		Not only because of the aggressive price it paid for a significant amount of high-performance GDDR2, but because in adopting GDDR3 early, Nvidia was effectively dropping the cost of this new technology, and starting to create volume for Samsung.

	SLI DDR2 & GDDR3, 1 of each?
		However, if you didn't pay careful attention when buying and the system was originally spec'd with one GDDR3 7600GT and one GDDR2 7600GT, then you either wasted your money or are the victim of marketing.
		They only sent one in the system, I am personally going to buy a new card to go along with the existing card for the SLI performance gain.
		I do agree on the x1950 Pro as a great card for the price, however due the the TONS of "heat related problems" it has I would recommend the "ultimate" verson of the x1950 Pro instead.

	X-bit labs - Infineon Establishes Supplies of GDDR3 Memory.
		The move may pose competition to Samsung Electronics, who has been the primary supplier of GDDR3 memory for the two leading graphics chips designers — ATI Technologies Inc. and NVIDIA Corp. — as well as their partners for the last one and a half years.
		Secondly, GDDR3 utilises a “pseudo-open drain” interface technique that is based on voltage rather than current.
		With more GDDR3 memory devices from different makers hitting the market, products featuring the chips may become more cost-efficient, as Samsung may have to lower its pricing.

	FX5700 Ultra GDDR3 to come at price
		Even though it does not make much sense to us, Nvidia believes that people just want to buy FX5700 Ultra with GDDR3 even if that one might end up 20 to 30 pounds more expensive.
		FX5900XT is based on a faster high end core while FX5700 Ultra is mainstream card that regardless the memory it will end up slower in overall performance.
		Nvidia believes that people will like GDDR3 overclocking performance, and there should be some cards that we can play with very soon and let you know what do we think about it.
